Hope he does another original project soon. He's releasing good (and sometimes great) movies.

I will one day! Just one of those classics I still haven't gotten around to. Any specific reason you're bringing it up now, though? Just curious.

Okay. I just saw Malle's "Elevator to the Gallows" today, and was afterwards looking around on his page and had a look at Au Revoir's page again and realized that you haven't seen it. I just love it so much is all, and would like if you saw it (which you obviously have plans to do at some stage).
DT

Sure. I did finally see my first Malle last year, Pretty Baby, which I enjoyed a lot, so I'm even more looking forward to seeing the rest of his work. So what did you think of Elevator to the Gallows, then? And related to your Meetin' WA review...care to refresh my memory with a rundown of the Godards you've seen, liked and disliked?
Jye Sherwell

Oh I liked "Elevator to the Gallows" a lot! If you enjoy French New Wave then you should enjoy it too. With Godard: Band of Outsiders and Breathless I really like, Meetin' WA you've obviously read my thoughts on, Sympathy for the Devil I strongly dislike, and Masculin Feminine sits in the middle, although I'm keen for a rewatch.
DT

Cool, I look forward to it then. Fair assessments on those Godards there, my own sentiments don't lie far from yours on those films. You still have a lot to see, though!

Gonna write anything (wall post, review etc) on Dragon Tattoo? I'm keen on some more fleshed-out thoughts. (Feel free to do it here or whatever!).

Haha! I dunno. If I feel like it, I will. If not, I won't. (Vague, I know) But heck, here's some thoughts on it. It's clear now that Fincher is more than competent when it comes to film-making. I do worry that he's so good now, and can get money easier now that he has the danger of falling into the rut of just churning out films (even though I'm sure those films will be great), without taking big risks, or making inspired choices. But maybe that won't be the case. Alas, "Dragon Tattoo" was polished as expected. Daniel Craig (and the cast in general), are very good. But it's obviously Rooney Mara that shines the most. She not only managed to be a total badass, but she also managed to make me feel sorry for her. She's honestly one of the best characters of 2011 for me. Some parts of the film do ask that you just go along with the film, because if you wanted to, you could find faults with some things that happen in the story. Still, ultimately it's one of the best films of 2011 so far. And is great in most aspects.

I had separated paragraphs, but stupid MUBI made it one big post. Sorry.
DT

13Jan12

It's alright, it was sorted into its original paragraphs within the email notification I received. Anyway, thanks for all those thoughts, it'll get me into a good mindset for when I (hopefully) see it in the next couple of weeks. I still have to get to the original sometime before that though - did you ever see it, btw?
Jye Sherwell

13Jan12

Okay, good. And no, no. I wanted to save my first experience with this story, for Fincher's version. I'd suggest you do the same, but obviously you look at the films differently to me.
DT

13Jan12

It seems I do. You just care less about the original film being there now that Fincher's has been released, or something?
Jye Sherwell

15Jan12

I wanted to see Fincher's version first, because a Fincher film is more important to me. Seeing a certain version first, is a big difference between which you're likely to enjoy more, and for me, prioritizing Fincher's was more important. My Dad owns the Swedish version though, so I might view that sometime.
DT

I do agree with that assessment, re: which film you see first (Funny Games was a prime example for me a few years back). Anyway, I finally got around to both Dragon Tattoos this week...if you're interested, I'll be posting some thoughts on my filmography from Sunday. Also, hope you had a good Australia Day!

I just re-discovered this old post of yours (http://mubi.com/wall_posts/362279). Any news? I'm still interested.

Yeah man, I'll be watching and reviewing the very first film for the first video of the channel in the next couple of days. So it's all coming together.
